Code: [Select]

[root@proxy ~]# rpm -q perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib
perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.024-1.el4.rf

So It seems the yum wants version 2.024 and I seem to have 2.024-1 . is this correct?

Is this a bug?

I saw similar bugs, but in 2007, saying that it would be non-synchronized repositories. I wouldn't think that is the case now..

can anyone point me in some direction to iron this out?

ciao! Michel

- edit: put the whole output of yum..

[holck]

I think your problem is that you have the package perl-IO-Compress.noarch installed in some old version that demands the old version of perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib.noarch. But yum cannot find a newer version of perl-IO-Compress.noarch. You either need to find a repository with perl-IO-Compress.noarch in a newer version, or uninstall it.

[magwm]

Thanks Jesper!

, or uninstall it.

Code: [Select]

[root@proxy ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires perl-IO-Compress
nessun pacchetto necessita di perl-IO-Compress
translated: no package needs perl-IO-Compress

so, why would I have it installed..  and on both production servers.. or is this not the correct way to see if some software needs it?

[holck]

Someone more knowledgeable than me is probably needed ... You can probably uninstall perl-IO-Compress without problems

Code: [Select]

yum erase perl-IO-Compress
but if I were you, I would find the package in a newer version, e.g.

Code: [Select]

wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.pramberger.at/systems/linux/contrib/rhel4/i386/perl-IO-Compress-2.030-1.el4.pp.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall perl-IO-Compress-2.030-1.el4.pp.noarch.rpm

So, I apparently picked up this package along the way while installing some "unsupported" stuff from DAG..  ARGH.

apparently it took a while (it's been there since may) to conflict, but now we have it..

the dag repo apparently has not an updated version of this rpm.

I have it on this (proxy) server as

Code: [Select]

dag=repository
    BaseURL=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$basearch/dag
    EnableGroups=no
    Exclude=freetype,htop,iptraf,rsync,syslinux
    GPGCheck=yes
    GPGKey=http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
    Name=Dag - EL4
    Visible=no
    status=disabled


so maybe I should point elsewhere.. and just update these perl-compress thingies. i'll look at it soon.

. or is this not the correct way to see if some software needs it?

It's not the correct way for perl modules. Try:

rpm -q --whatrequires 'perl(IO::Compress)'

or:

rpm -e --test perl-IO-Compress

However, since you have a problem which you suspect might be a bug, you should report your problem via the bug tracker, rather than muse about it in the forum.

[magwm]

Dear Charlie, thank you for your input. however I have been told in the bugtracker that installing from dag/rpmforge invalidates all warranty.. And I respect that, because there are lots of things that might not be so compatible. But I did it anyways, long ago... So now I hoped that in the forums someone would illuminate me.

anyway.

[root@proxy ~]# rpm -q --whatrequires 'perl(IO::Compress)'

        perl(IO::Compress::Gzip) >= 2.015(installato)  necessita di perl-Archive-Tar-1.56-1.el4.rf.noarch

what I find strange is that these dependencies need perl-Compress-something or perl-IO-compress-something, and the 'offending' package is perl-IO-compress ..

well, I'll let them run some more days without updating, while I look at what's going on..

ciao! M

I have been told in the bugtracker that installing from dag/rpmforge invalidates all warranty.. And I respect that, because there are lots of things that might not be so compatible

Please provide the bug reference for this, so we have the right background re this whole issue.

[CharlieBrady]

what I find strange is that these dependencies need perl-Compress-something or perl-IO-compress-something, and the 'offending' package is perl-IO-compress ..

No, the dependencies are 'perl(Compress::something)' not 'perl-Compress-something'.This means "a package containing the Compress::something perl module", which may or may not be a package called  perl-Compress-something.

Do:

rpm -q --provides perl-IO-Compress

and you should see how this works.

[magwm]

well thanks again!
first, charlie:

perl(Zlib::OldDeflate)
perl(Zlib::OldInflate)
perl-IO-Compress = 2.024-1.el4.rf

Mary, I repeat I am not complaining about this. I willfully installed from dag and I don't want to be the one wasting the dev's resources on unsupported configurations.The bug is 5977,where holy Stefano helped me out of rpm hell..

Anyway, I recognize that this package perl-IO-Compress = 2.024-1.el4.rf is the showstopper. now I just have to understand which supported packages provide the same perl stuff.. so that I dan delete perl-IO-Compress and happily update..

thanks for your time!

I find it strange though that there would be a spamassassin from atrpms.net.. or is that normal)

anyway I cant uninstall spamassassin.. obviously.

sigh.

so, if I eliminated perl-filter, found a newer version of spamassassin.. (which version is there in the contribs repos?) coult I stand any chance?

ahh..

I see now that I could do

that leaves me with one - or more of the following that yum does not like :

perl-Net-Ident.noarch 0:1.23-1.el4.rf set to be updated
perl-Net-Server.noarch 0:0.99-1.el4.rf set to be updated

even better, if I do

Code: [Select]

yum update --exclude=perl-Compress*
it doesn't complain at all.

so I guess that leaves
perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2.i386 0:2.031-1.el4.rf
perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib.i386 0:2.030-1.el4.rf

as culprits, not being compatible with my - wrongfully present - perl-IO-compress package..

I find it strange though that there would be a spamassassin from atrpms.net.. or is that normal)

That is normal. We take packages from CentOS, EPEL, RPMForge and ATrpms as well.

anyway I cant uninstall spamassassin.. obviously.

And you don't need to.

The easiest way to find out what the non standard packages on your system are is by running:

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/audittools/newrpmsThat should spit out the list of packages that are installed on your system, but which are not provided through the default SME Server channels (this will also list installed contribs).
